I would give the wee girl a pass on pavement cycling due to her age and inexperience. The dad however has no excuse, not for pavement cycling or teaching so close to (what appears to be) a main road. Sometimes cyclists just play into the hands of the criticizers , it doesn't seem to matter if I and 89% of others follow all the laws and behave properly, the remaining 10% are the ones 'talked' about. All numbers from the 'picked out my arse' department Sorry for piggy backing your sub thread TMS but as I have Cheerful kill-filed I cannot reply directly. |

Â*The dad however has no excuse, not for pavement cycling or teaching so close to (what appears to be) a main road. The wall next to the pavement looks like a garden wall. So people live on that section of road. Should people load their car up and drive somewhere else before they can go out and play? Sometimes cyclists just play into the hands of the criticizers , it doesn't seem to matter if I and 89% of others follow all the laws and behave properly, the remaining 10% are the ones 'talked' about. All numbers from the 'picked out my arse' department Sorry for piggy backing your sub thread TMS but as I have Cheerful kill-filed I cannot reply directly. Don't worry. The reverse occurs with drivers never doing any wrong. When something does go wrong it is usually the fault of somebody else or of some inanimate object. In another of Cheerful's threads, a boy is seen crossing the road and an incompetent driver is unable to do an emergency stop. Almost like the driverless car in the 'states. If the driver had any competence a crash would not have happened and it would not have been newsworthy. Yes, the boy created the situation but the culture is that the actual crash must also be the boy's fault, and the driver's lack of skill is not questioned. In the press a motorist/driver never crashes eg, "motorist hurt when their vehicle crashed into a tree", whereas it is "cyclist crashed into a tree". A motorist/driver is never a drug dealer, burglar, murderer, rapist... but if any tenuous connection can be found with a bicycle it is almost invariably reported as "cyclist did it". |

They both received the same training so there must be something else affecting the results. It's difficult to tell where she came from. There is a garden gate nearby but it doesn't seem to line up. Nearly forty years ago, something vaguely similar happened to me in St Helens, Lancashire. I was driving north on Marshalls Cross Road (then part of A570, but since downgraded because a new road has been opened) past Sherdley Park, which has no boundary fence or other barrier. As I passed an odd sandstone structure on the left... /data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sUzPOL1GbvTqsqK4n1BRtdw!2e0!7i1 3312!8i6656?hl=en ....a child of about nine or ten on a small-sized bike emerged at speed from a hidden position behind it, straight out onto the carriageway literally a very few yards in front of me. I was sure that there was no way I could avoid him and that he was doomed, but although the car went almost sideways under the braking effort, I managed to stop it just short of him. He had reacted to the sound of the car and stopped, of all things, right in my path. He ran away squealing, leaving his bike behind in the nearside lane. I asked my local councillor to get St Helens to consider having extra barriers erected so that cyclists and pedestrians could not emerge onto the carriageway unseen until it was too late. He said he would do that. Thirty-nine years later, there are still no barriers at that dangerous spot. |
